Official KFFL Rulebook

Purpose: Keep the league active, competitive, fair, and fun. These rules govern manager conduct, lineup integrity, trades, and League Office decisions.

1. 01

   Manager Responsibilities

   • Every manager must remain active for the full season, regardless of record or playoff status.
   • Managers are responsible for checking injuries, bye weeks, suspensions, and player availability and for setting a legitimate competitive lineup each week.
   • Tanking, abandoning a roster, or intentionally helping another team is prohibited.
2. 02

   Starting Lineup Violations

   • A violation occurs when a manager leaves a player in the starting lineup who was officially ruled OUT with reasonable time to make a replacement, or knowingly leaves an eligible starting position empty without a legitimate reason.
   • No violation: a legitimate game-time decision, a late or unexpected inactive, an injury during the game, or a situation where the manager did not reasonably have time to react.

3. 03

   Trade Review

   • All accepted trades are subject to a 48-hour League Office review.
   • A trade will not be rejected simply because one manager appears to have won it. Bad trades are allowed; collusion is not.
   • The League Office may reject or reverse a trade involving collusion, roster dumping, player lending, coordinated player sharing, or another attempt to damage competitive integrity.
4. 04

   Collusion & Roster Dumping

   • Managers may not loan players, arrange trade-backs, give away players after elimination, exchange fantasy assets for outside money or favors, or coordinate rosters to manipulate standings or playoff qualification.
   • Serious or repeated violations may result in transaction reversal, roster restrictions, or removal from the league.
5. 05

   Eliminated Teams

   • Teams that are mathematically eliminated must continue setting legitimate lineups and competing through the end of the fantasy season.
   • Elimination does not excuse inactive management or intentional manipulation of another team’s playoff chances.
6. 06

   Stat Corrections & Platform Results

   • Official scoring and stat corrections made by the fantasy platform or stat provider stand as final, including corrections made after the initial matchup result.
   • The League Office will not manually override official stat corrections unless there is a clear platform error.
7. 07

   League Office Authority

   • The League Manager may issue rulings for unusual situations not specifically covered by these bylaws.
   • Rulings should prioritize competitive integrity, consistency, fairness, and established league precedent. Rules will not be invented retroactively to benefit or punish a specific manager.
